How Much is Silent Auction Pro?

Silent Auction Pro's pricing model is designed to make our Services affordable while sharing in the success of your event. We also understand that you often don't know how much you will raise with any given event. That's why we've structured the price of Silent Auction Pro as a percentage of your event's proceeds and you don't have to pay until your event is over.

We charge a sliding percentage scale calculated from the Gross Proceeds From Auctioned Items on a per Event basis with a discount on the first Event's use of the Services as shown in the following table:

This amount is automatically calculated based on the Gross Proceeds from Auctioned Items for your event and will show up in the Auction Results page.
